I read a cool article about a year back about using coal in place of wood for building materials. I don't remember what the process was, but they had created a way that coal would be cut into pieces that would replace lumber I believe.
Would be great to see them make some progress as it would help preserve the coal industry and prevent a lot of trees from being cut down for building materials.

I'd be proud to claim Hershey's. That's an American classic.
There's a reason for that. Eastern PA is a totally different place than Western PA. PA might as well be two different states. Sh*t like Alcoa, Heinz, and US Steel is Western PA bred. In fact, Pittsburgh is closer to Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, and Cincinnati, in terms of culture, than it is Philli.

Dude, those are popular products, but when people think Kentucky, they think ink jet printers.

Oh I would too, but we're not really famous for it, because they don't sell it out of state! I guess we're really protective of our Spotted Cow....

China has that claim now, since they own Smithfield Foods. But China has claim to BOA as well.
With that said, Va's should be Phillip Morris and NC should Pepsi, (Jim's Drink)

Wendy's for Ohio when P&G is an Ohio company? As well as all the Limited stores (Victoria's Secret, Bath and Body Works, etc.), Nationwide Insurance... I think there a lot of more famous brands than Wendy's.

On their site, sounds like they only provide it in-state because they wouldn't be able to keep up with the out-of-state demand. Guess they aren't interested in expanding then ha.
